Ingredients (makes roughly 28 truffles)

Directions:

1. Begin by lightly crushing the raw walnuts in a blender but leaving them in roughly 3 mm chunks.

2. In a large bowl, mix together the walnuts, flaxseed meal, whole carmelized pumpkin seeds, almond butter, honey, and cacao until everything is well combined.

3. Form the mixture into 1-inch balls balls using a spoon or cookie scoop and roll them in the caramelized pumpkin seeds. You should have roughly 28.

4. Place the truffles on a lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes or until firm. You can also refrigerate them, but I personally prefer the texture when frozen.

5. Once they are firm, drizzle honey on the truffles and sprinkle the carmelized pumpkin seeds on the mixture.

Now, let's talk about the benefits of these ingredients:

Raw Walnuts: Walnuts are a great source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats, which can help reduce inflammation, support brain health, and improve heart health.

Flaxseed Meal: Flaxseed meal is high in fiber, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids, which can help regulate digestion, lower cholesterol levels, and reduce the risk of certain diseases.

Honey: Honey contains antioxidants and antibacterial properties, which can help boost the immune system, soothe a sore throat, and promote healthy digestion.

Cacao: Cacao is a superfood that is rich in antioxidants, magnesium, and flavonoids, which can help improve heart health, boost mood, and reduce inflammation.

Almond Butter: Almond butter is a healthy fat that contains protein, fiber, and vitamin E, which can help lower the risk of heart disease, support skin health, and promote healthy digestion.

Caramelized Pumpkin Seeds: Pumpkin seeds are a great source of protein, healthy fats, and fiber, which can help reduce inflammation, support healthy bones, and promote satiety.

Each truffle is roughly 190 calories, with about 5 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber, making them a guilt-free snack that will leave you feeling satisfied.
